Mind-body dualism is a philosophical concept that posits the existence of two distinct and separate substances: the mind (or soul) and the body. This dualistic view suggests that mental phenomena are non-physical and that consciousness, thoughts, and emotions exist independently of the physical body. The most famous proponent of mind-body dualism is René Descartes, a 17th-century philosopher who argued that the mind and body are fundamentally different in nature.
